THE WHITE.
lproyed hig arm Sewing Machine.

An improved hig arm Sewing Machine
The advantage of a high arm, admitting
the passage under it of bulky garments
without mussing or soiling the compacting
by them, is too well known to require des-
cription.
IL will last life time and its range of
work exceeds that of any other machine
WIRRA NTED FOR FIVE YEARS
Among the many advantages OF the
White machine are its needle, self-setting in
every sense ofthc word--always right
IL has the least complicated, the most
simple, durable and complete shuttle ever
made, simplicity in threading being an es-
pecial feature. The shuttle tension is so
arranged that you can increase it or de-
crease it without removing the shuttle from
the machine or disarranging the work.
All wearing parts of the White are made
adjusta BILE, So that any lost motion incident
to long usage can be easily taken up, thus
avoiding the delay and expense i'll duplica-
ting parts. The simplicity in threading the
White is unequalcd by any other machine,
and we would particularly call attention
% the fact in either the upper or lower
thread, there is no hole a. thread through
excepting thc eve of the needle.
For Family Use, Dress Making, Tailor
ing, the White is without peer.

gagged hand-the hand that had some
time clasped his in a minust-aud
with naughty grace motioned him
away. The pluck that no living being
could ever dsunt quailed before the
dead. A corpse cowed the gamest
heart that ever beat in mortal breast.
Yet. with supreme effort Of his
mighty win and his danntless nerve,
this flower Of the American navy
stopped and raising the senseless girl
from the carpet, bore her to the COM

Thus for three days sat the dead
Lady Of Kalorama besides her treas

menacing wave Of her pulseless hand.
Hundreds of people saw her-and
upon each one fell the grip of deadly

the treasures be restored to the Golfer,

the boxes themselves be shipped at

sail for England. This was done.
But Of all the gallant gentlemen who
gathered at this house on the occasion

stout enough to put the ministers sug-

gallant Decatur and the curate him

Grimly upright in her chair sat the

INVISIBLE.

SOUND COMMON SENsE.-If you are
well, let yourself alone. One of the
great errors Of the age is. We medicate
the body too much. More persons are
destroyed by eating too much than by
drinking too much. Gluttony kills
more than drunkenness in civilized
society. The best gymnasium is a
woodward. a clearing or cornfeld.
A hearty laugh is known the world
over, TO be a health promoter; it
elevates the spirits, enlivens the cir
culation, and is marvelously contagious
in a good sense. Body activity and
bodily strength are inseparable. If
the bowels are loose, lie down in bed,
remain there, and eat nothing until
you are we'll. The three best medi-
eines in the world are warmth, absti.
nence and repose.

had been quite silent till now, too much be-
wildered to speak; but when l reached my
room the full import OF what was being
done burst upon me, and l fell at the
matron's feet imploring her not to send me
away with those two cold, cruel women.
''Only let me stay here" l begged amid a
storm of sobs, burying my face in her lap,
''only let me stay and will do any thing.

Mrs. Harris tears flowed at this passion
ate appeal of mine, but she could not grant
my request now-it was too late.
"You have ever been an obedient and
good child, Dorcas," she answered, softly,
sand l know you will not fail to make
friends wherever you go. Those ladies are
very nice, have no doubt, when once you
get used to them. Come, cheer up and &c
and bid the girls goodbye while l get your
clothes ready"
So saying, she put mo gently aside and
began to empty out the contents Of my
small chest of drawers; while l, seeing
that further pleading would be Of no avail.
went slowly out to where my companions
were, and proceeded to bid them goodbye
a task that was not accomplished without
much weeping on either side.
This over, went back and madam, with
her own hands, dressed me in my best at
tire, which consisted of linen suit, EN-.
broidered pantaletteS and white straw fiat,
then much worn by children. then bade
the matron an affecting farewell, clinging
to her, and sobbing the while she kissed me
gently, saying: God bless you, my little
Dorcas." And then, taking Miss Armund's
hand, was hurried to the carriage, where
the coachman stood holding open the door.
He helped tho ladies in, tossed me in after
them, shut the door, and, mounting his
box, drove swiftly away. / looked back

within the carriage. Neither had spoken
since starting. Mrs. Clayton sat looking
out of the window, evidently deeply inter-
ested in the scenery though which we were
passing. The other, Miss Armund, sat re-
garding me with grim, moody expression
Of countenance that fairly chilled me.
Thus we rode on for some time when Mrs.
Clayton suddenly exclaimed, vehemently:
ats all nonsense, Maria; the child was
much happier where she was; you are do
ing no kindness to her in taking her
away
''Perhaps not" answered her companion,
shortly. II am partly doing a duty, though.
And you can hardly miss the trife that IL

dow, followed by the admiring eyes of the
children, who already began to envy me the
good luck (as they termed it, that had be-
fallen me.
1t seemed to be settled then that I was
going away, for the matron, after few
moments conversation, brought out the
large book in which persons adopting chill
dren were required to sign their names and
affirm to several rules respecting the care
and treatment of them.
To the matron's surprise, apparently, the
younger of the ladies took up the pen to
sign her name, thus affirming that she was
the one who was really to take charge Of
me, though the elder lady's taste only had
been questioned regarding the choice.
l stood near and noticed the graceful,
elegant hand in which the lady wrote her
name, and leaning over read it: Lena
Clayton, 147 Regent street, Baltimore.
This done, madam dismissed the other
children, and taking my hand, led me to my
own little room with its tiny bed, neat car
pet and muslin-curtained window, through
which came the subtle breath of the May
morning mingled with tho song of birds.
